    Hioki made great meters back in the day.
    I found a 1985 Hioki 3200-50 at Goodwill for 5 bucks. Fixed a couple of micro-switches and it was good as new. With case and original leads. Probably the only handheld multi meter to have a 20 micro-amp range (10nA resolution) and a 10A range (through the leads). Resistance, continuity, vac, vdc and current is all it does but it does those jobs very well. Keep your eyes open at those dollar store for those rare deals.

    You need narrow clamp amp meter to fit into modern dense electrical box. Big and bulky clamp amp meter are even dangerour to work due to possible loose wire. Next you need wide frequence range for measuring inverter control motors.

    The DR4256 uses AAA (LR03) batteries, not AA as you mentioned.
